When the replacement Pvt. Kalb joins the squad of Sgt. Saunders, he is accused of cowardice by his fellow mate Fleming. He says that Kalb is a notorious survivor of his squad in Omaha Beach because he was hidden during the battle. Saunders asks whether Fleming had seen and he tells that he has not seen but heard. During a patrol in a French village, Saunders and his squad goes to a church to be an observation post. Doc treats the leg of Kalb and shows Saunders that seems to be a self-inflicted wound. While Fleming accuses Kalb of cowardice, the private claims that he had fought a German soldier that show him and he stabbed the enemy with his bayonet. Fleming tells that he will accuse Kalb in the Court Martial, but Kalb claims that is telling the truth. What really happened with Kalb?
"S.I.W." is another great and dramatic episode of "Combat!" with great performances of John Cassavetes, William Stevens and Vic Morrow. Sgt. Saunders as usual is the balanced character seeking for justice. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "Lesão Auto-Inflingida" ("Self-Inflicted Wound")
